In the summer of 2023, Saudi Arabia led a veritable raid on European football, attracting many stars to strengthen the appeal and level of the Saudi Pro League. This massive movement of players leaving Europe for the Gulf was notably encouraged by the recruitment of Cristiano Ronaldo by Al-Nassr in the winter of 2022. And this summer, the kingdom does not seem to be reducing its ambitions.
According to Transfer marketSaudi Arabia has now set its sights on Paulo Dybala. The Italian media reports that the Argentinian striker from AS Roma is in the sights of Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad, the club where N’Golo Kanté and Karim Benzema play.
Two pharaonic offers
To attract the former Juventus player, the two Saudi clubs have already offered him a contract worth more than 15 million euros net per season, with the possibility of increasing the offer to 20 million euros, not including possible bonuses.
For its part, the Louve club made an offer of 12 million euros, corresponding to the amount of the release clause of the 2022 world champion, a clause only active in July. It remains to be seen whether Joya will succumb to the Saudi sirens, one year before the expiration of her contract.
